Celtic Tiger Lullabye

Don't cry baby, baby don't you cry
While your mammy sings a lullabye
Daddy's got to go to work just so's we get by
And meet the peyments on the car
And the mortgage is sky high

Don't cry baby, baby don't you cry
While your nanny sings a lullabye
Mammy's got to go to work just so's we get by
And meet the payments on the other caa
and the mortgage is sky high

don't cry baby, baby don't you cry
while the television sings a lullabye
nanny got a better paid job and then she said bye-bye
and the interest rates are rising'
soaring through the sky

but the television don't sing no lullabye
TV just tells you what you ought to buy
And how to overreach yourself and get yourself in debt
But don't cry baby
We'll pull through this one yet

Don't cry daddy, daddy don't you cry
While your baby sings a lullabye
No-one's indispensable, you often said yourself
And maybe one day you'll climb down off that shelf
And take the time to get to know your kids so that when you die
They'll put up a marble statue saying he was an OK guy

Don't cry baby, baby don't you cry
While your mammy sings a lullabye
